III. until p. n. At least thousand per-
sons day enjoy the torture of Turkish and
Russian baths in New York
Inc stranger laid down in his berth and
argued with the absinthe his right to Sleep
The absinthe and the snorer in the next
berth contested this right, and came out
ahead. At O'Clock party of Young aris-
tocrats came i'll, and one of them, upon
whom BacchuS seemed tohave a first mort
gage, made much noise. Hercules took him
IN hand, and in short order subdued him
with the hose. The attendant went about
with clothes-pins and subdued the noses of
those who were snoring. The quiet of a
Christian night pervaded the place Sleep
and the absinthe had brief collar-and-elbow
wrestle, and sleep won. The victim rested
and perspired.
Five o'clock came with cruel promptness.
So did Hercules. He invited his victim to
take plunge. The wretch wended his way
along the hail, descended pair of stairs into
pool of water that reached to his chin, and
determined to drown himself. Then he
changed his mind, assembled the stairs and
re-entered his berth. Hercules came for
ward with bottle of alcohol and compelled
each pore to take a drink The pores had
been open all night, and this process was to
close them for contact with the cold, cold
world.
When the victim had been properly picked
In alcohol Hercules said that he might have
his clothes back again. 1t is something of
luxury to wear garments after such an ex-
perlence, and the subject put on his clothes
with sense of gratitude. Then he went
out and paid the master of the place 50 80
for the luxury of being parboiled and rinsed.
Hercules got an extra quarter for his
matchlesS and muscular cruelty. He con-
sented to show the stranger the chamber of
torture known as the needle bath The vic
tim does penance in a closet, where water
from thousand jets rushes out from silver
pipes to torture him. If, however, he really
wishes to punish himself, the victim goes be
low into big marble sarcophagus that reels
with steam. There he enjoys the sensation
experienced by steamed clam. tits the Rus
sian bath. Ii he desires an oleaginous ex-
perience, the subject takes Roman bath
such as luxurious Julius Caesar used to enjoy,
and has himself fabricated with perfulned
vaseline.
AT exactly 5 o'clock the Man from the
Country wandered out on Broadway, clothed
and in his rightmind. Pugnacious sparrows
were chirping, and the early birds were
arguing over the abnormally previous and
unlucky worm. A horse in a delivery
wagon had baked at having to be about at
such an uncanny hour, and his driver had
draped his head in a blanket to delude him
into the belief that the world was not such q
cruel place after all. Nat Goodwin, Thomas
P. Ochiltree, and party of gentlemen had
returned from an evenings performance
and stood shifting the salt air in front OF
their hotel The stranger entered an all
night restaurants at Thirtieth street and Sixth
avenue, and ordered some boiled eggs and a
cup of coffee. He was ravenouslY hungry
and ate with a sharp appetite He felt a.
bright as newly Matched bird and had nc
use for the lazy individual who invented
sleep. He went to the train. met his
friends, and then picked up the threads Of
business
